Didnāt think it would need explaining why as it is part of the rules you agreed to when you joined the forum. If you have forgotten them you can find them here. Rule 8 is the relevant one in this case, in particular the first couple of lines of Rule 8. Yes it may seem petty but there is a lot of history behind it and this way makes life easier for all concerned.

Except for the agency driver aspiring for some specific agency information at a glance!

Well it is time history was re-written, shake hands and all that

and the members of this forum, who might miss out because the mods donā't like another site.
āoddsodzā no not you but the admin of this site.
Still think it is petty childish, " I donāt like that so donāt talk about it" attitude.
john, welcome to the internet mate!
iām afraid youāll find this āus and themā on virtually every truck site youāll go on, itās nothing new, spose itās just human nature to want to be in a group, club, gang or clique whatever you wana call it and then be opposed to any other of a similar nature, i know that makes no sense but thats the way it is! at one time there was actually a site (not sure if itās still going) that had a specific forum for members to slag off another site ffs!
all this united drivers bit, all sounds good in theory but youāll always get those who consider themselves one step higher on the ladder than everyone else, āour sites better than your siteā type thing. the internets a marvelous thing but it does have the effect of making grown men and women act like kids in a school playground at times.
Hi Paul b
I know what you are saying, sad though innit
Decided to read the rules, bloody hell worst than my home insurance.
A forum is only as strong as itās members, so do they ever ask the members of all the forums. or just presume.
Idea, Why not each and every one have links to all the others, that way no one is being actively against another and then we can decide. Or are we not allowed to decide.
Surely in this modern day they can all work together.
Better still, accept that this is the way it is, that you donāt know the history, and live with it 'cos it aināt going to changeā¦
Lucy:
and live with it 'cos it aināt going to changeā¦
does this mean you forever hold a grudge
I do not know the history and it is none of my business, but the link I put on was advising drivers who are constantly talking about agencies, and saw no harm directing them to aomewhere to help them.
i have just signed up to truckersworld and will ask by PM if they also hold a grudge
Without being cynical is it not the āResponsibilityā of sites like this to get on with each other and so encourage drivers getting together more,
If you hate truckersworld so much that you say āneverā is it a good example to the members on here.
No, itās not our responsibility, any more than itās any other websiteās responsibility. We arenāt in the slightest bit interested in campaigning or the state of the industry, weāre just a talking shop/meeting pointā¦And itās not so much a grudge as self preservation. We tried and tried and tried on this one, with various sites, and all it achieved was to make our lives and those of our volunteer staff extremely unpleasant. I, along with the others involved in running this site, have more important things to be getting stressed about.
As you and I have both said, you donāt know the history, so pāraps itās best you just accept that and let it lie, eh? If you want to āblameā someone, āblameā those who took advantage of help we were once prepared to give, and created this situation. The trust is no longer there, and it would take a great deal for it to ge regained. In the most recent incident, played out on another site, an avenue for discussion was offered (in the form of a phone call or face to face meeting) and flatly turned down. The offer stands, but we havenāt heard a thing.
There really is nothing else to be said on the subject.
Btw, I was away tramping when the link was removed, so cannot comment on that particular decision. It would have been made in good faith and has been shown to be covered by the rules.
And, actually, no, I donāt see that ordinary drivers like the ones who run this site have an example to set to anyone, on account of being just that. Ordinary, working drivers.
Personally, I donāt hate Truckersworld, but I do hate unnecessary stress.
Fair comments, So best for me to just shut up
I very rarely post on sites but do look around them all (since back on line and before)
Just seems a pity sites cannot work together.
One last point, Truckersworld hold no grudge and still has a link to here and stops nobody posting about it, sounds like a heated argument that got out of hand and things were said that were possibly OTT.
e/mail is free, maybe there is an olive branch somewhere.
I will now Shut up
Barrie has my phone number, and all he needs to do is call it and talk. He has known that for some time. Iāll even ring him back so it costs him nothing. He knows that too. I have also offered to go and meet with him any weekend he chooses at a sensible place of his choosing. Again, he knows that as well.
He has chosen not to take up any of these offers. They still stand.
The ball is in his court, very firmly.
